foreign policy is weak and ineffectual. >> president obama's policy has been confusing. it's been apologetic. and it's been misguided. >> there's no question but that we're weaker than we were when barack obama took office. >> reporter: mitt romney's campaign has long argued that the president's policies have made the united states weaker throughout the world. despite public opinion polling that shows the american people trust mr. obama over his opponent by a slight margin when it comes to handling an international crisis. that was when the idea of an international crisis was abstract. last week's attacks on the american embassies in the middle east and north africa have given the romney campaign an example to criticize. >> if we project weakness, they come. if we are strong, they are -- our adversaries will not test us and our allies will respect us. >> reporter: on cbs news's "face the nation" u.n. ambassador susan rice, one of the administration's top diplomats, argued that the image of the u.s. overseas is far better than republicans claim. >> i see every day the dif

spoke to president obama shortly thereafter. she has been in the oval office or situation room at least six time in the past three days and in constant contact with the other national security principles. she spoke to general dempsey, secretary panetta. keep in mind the last good five hour period where it was unclear what had happened to the u.s. ambassador. whether he had gone into hiding, whether he had been kidnapped. the state department still isn't clear on the details. they don't know how his body ended up in a benghazi hospital or who took it there. this is a very moment by moment investigation, but it draws into question a success story of the obama administration on the foreign policy front, libya was viewed as a test of the minimum military engagement maximum impact. >> so what are state department officials focused on today? >> reporter: today they are very much focused on the expected protests throughout the region, but there's also little bit of clean up that's happening. the secretary has been in contact with offic
